Alice in Wonderland (2010 Film)
Everyone is familiar with the Disney cartoon of “Alice in Wonderland”, however, many might wonder what happened to Alice after she returned from Wonderland. In the modern take of Alice, viewers can find out in the 2010 film “Alice in Wonderland”. While this film has the same name as …
Exiled (2007)
I find the movie Exiled pretty similar to one particular movie like a gangster wanting to be good type of story. Exiled is something like that, but the difference is that the setting of this movie is in Macau.
Anthony Wong and Francis Ng star and they sort of like …
Alice in Wonderland 1951 Movie
Alice in Wonderland was one of those older Disney films that I never really understood as a child. Even now, as an adult, I still have some problems understanding the themes or what exactly is happening in the movie at certain times. The original film was released in 1951 …
COBRA, the movie (1986)
When motorcyclists start chasing under the window in the middle of the night, I immediately think of this movie. Sly was so good at shooting them with a machine gun on the move! Except I wouldn’t take a machine gun, but a heavy machine gun and enough ammo to go …
Dead Poets Society
“Dead Poets Society” is a brilliant 1997 drama starring Robin Williams as professor John Keating, who arrives to teach at a conservative college in the ultra-conservative 1950s. This is one of Williams’ best performances in his career.
Pros: The movie is wonderful. Williams is likeable and goofy while …
American Meth documentary
In the year 2007, I would have thought that a more in depth methamphetamine documentary could have been made. Kudos to the creators for casting Val Kilmer as the narrator. His voice has plenty of presence, and you forget that it’s even him speaking. However, this …
The Yes Man
I saw the preview for this movie and I thought it could be good, I like Jim Carrey as a comedian. It was really funny, almost as funny as Bruce almighty. Carl (played by Jim Carrey) is a man that never says yes to anything, he likes to avoid …

Aliens, Guns & a Monkey
Aliens, Guns & a Monkey is a pretty fun episode of Tripping the Rift. For this episode the crew of the Jupiter 42 set ground on a planet that is completely in love with guns. This of course sets off a lot of talk about the morality …
Django Unchained movie
Love him or loathe him, Quentin Tarantino remains a Hollywood institution. One of only a handful of directors who can command a bigger box office clout than most stars. Not that QT is adverse to casting big named talent in his movies. On the contrary, Brad Pitt and more …
Serendipity movie
Destiny! A mere coincident, a perfect accidentally meeting, in an unexpected date, day and time including places.
“Serendipity” is a movie, which lovers and hopelessly romantics would like. A very good twist emphasized on coincident, love at first sight, true love. Two people met at the amidst of chaotic Christmas …
Sweet Home Alabama movie
A darling little movie that my family loves to watch (yes, even my husband likes this chick flick) is Sweet Home Alabama. Reese Witherspoon is such a cute actress with such endearing talent, that she is perfect as Melanie. This may be a glorified case of you can take …
Robots animated movie
I love to watch animated movies, think they are really cool, and these days I can say that animated movies are getting more successful than the real movies. Few days back I saw a new animated movie called “Robots”. It was really a cute movie to watch. The story …
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)
With the release of the Transformers on the year 2007, many fans anticipated the sequel of the famed Transformers. I was one of them. The first movie captured my interest (although I’m already a fan of the old school Transformers cartoons) because of the plot, action scenes, and most specially …
Blood Diamond movie
Before I watched the movie “Blood Diamond” I don’t think I had ever heard about the war over diamonds coming from the African country Sierre Leon. In fact, I think people always seemed to be a bit more focused on genocide in other African countries. One thing that the …
Ghostrider
I watched “Ghostrider” with my nephew this afternoon. I had really hoped it would live up to the hype, unfortunately I didn’t think it did.
In the first place I don’t think Nicholas Cage fit the part very well, or at least his voice didn’t and I felt he …
Death Race 2 movie
As any fan of Jason Statham I was reluctant to part 2 of the movie Death Race. I really do not understand why they felt the need to make another film on this theme. Well I have to say that I really liked Death Race 2 and I will …
No Reservations (2007)
This is the story of a day in the life of a master chef, taking solace behind the scenes she is more at ease preparing the meals for her clientele than basking in the glory of comments that might come her way. A typical day finds her going to …
NeverWhere Movie
Beneath the streets of London there is an ancient fantasy medieval world with knights, kings and wizards. A businessman one day gets invisible for some reason and his life doesn’t seem to exist anymore.
Then he goes down to the underworld of London to seek answers.
A very stupid and pointless …
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)
It is very difficult for a sequel to make the audience feel the same excitement as the first movie, and this sequel didn’t quite live up to that… However, it didn’t fail either. The second Transformers movie did a bad job, and a good job of giving us …
A Cinderella Story
The story of Cinderella has been cloned so many times, successfully and not. This 2004 attempt offers a contemporary, high school version set in California. For Cinderella, we have Sam, who is a high school girl sneered at by the popular crowd and overworked by her evil step …
Chasing Liberty
You actually realise how important a creative script writer is when you watch two movies with the same story line. The difference between both of them can be the level of acting and the creativity involved.
This is the case of the movie “Chasing Liberty” that has the same storyline …
The Hulk 2008
When I first saw the movie “Hulk” being advertised before it came out in theatres, I thought that it was actually a sequel to the previous movie which came out a couple years before in the year 2003. However, after seeing it advertise a few more times I realized …
Haunted Gainsborough
I am reviewing The Case of the Haunted Gainsborough, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Series 39 Thrilling Episodes. This series was produced by Sheldon Reynolds and filmed in France in the fifties. Ronald Howard, the son of actor Leslie Howard, …
That Darn Cat movie
Disney Studios gifted audiences with That Darn Cat in 1965. The family film starred Hayley Mills and Dean Jones, and, of course, DC the Cat. DC is a Siamese cat who ends up being the only one who knows where some thieves and kidnappers are.
Mills plays the …
Shrek the Third (2007)
Shrek the Third, directed by Chris Miller and Raman Hui is rated PG bythe Motion Picture Association of America for some crude humor, suggestive content and swashbuckling action. The original release date was May 18, 2007 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Animation/Adventure/Comedy/Family/Fantasy and …
Prince Caspian
I think that the movie Prince Caspian is unduly overlooked. I am a huge fan of Narnia, so maybe I’m biased, but I do believe that this movie deserves far more recognition and rave. Ever since the first Narnia movie was released, I looked forward to Prince Caspian; the …
12 Angry Men (Remake)
In 1997, someone got the not-so-bright idea to recreate a theatrical classic, 12 Angry Men. The problem for me is that the original production was about as near to perfect as you can get. Headed by Henry Fonda and a legendary cast, this film was dramatic and …
National Velvet movie
National Velvet is a movie produced by Warner Brothersit is set in England and is about a twelve year old girl named Velvet Brown who loves horses. She meets a drifter named Mi Taylor who is played by Mickey Ronnie. Velvet convinces her family to let him stay with …
Roll Bounce (2005 movie)
I, for one, believe that each should stick to what they can do…rappers rap, singers sing, dancers dance, actors act, and so on. When they try to do things that they know nothing of, they make a fool of themselves. Now, Bow wow is no stranger to the acting …
Ocean’s Eleven
Based on the 1960 film of the same title and directed by acclaimed director of such films as Traffic and Erin Brockovich, Steven Soderbergh, Ocean’s Eleven is a cool hi-tech comedy. Starring some of Hollywood’s most popular actors, it’s the story of Danny Ocean (George Clooney), a newly released …

Mr and Mrs Smith
‘Mr and Mrs Smith’ is an English movie and an interesting one. Mr and Mrs Smith are a married couple. In the movie, differences and conflicts arise between them. They lose patience with each other. On the surface, both of them are innocent people. Nobody would guess that they …
Movie Death Race
I recently went to the cinema to watch Death Race and I was not disappointed. The plot is as follows. In 2012 the United States economy collapses and at that point on inwards life for everyone is just not the same anymore. Once a NASCAR champion …
Robin Hood: Men In Tights (1993)
I have always loved satirical and fantasy movies and “Robin Hood: Men In Tights” is one that gives me the best of both worlds. I will say right now, this movie is not for everyone, but if you like satire, this is the one to see. Mel Brooks really …
Cabin Fever movie
36 years ago a wacky cult movie called I Drink Your Blood, about hippies in an isolated area infected with rabies going on a rampage, delighted audiences with its audacious and over the top wackiness.
Here, we have a film of a similar theme, but it isn’t a delight. It’s …
Toy Story
Toy Story is a very coll story about toys. The main characters are Woody and Buzz Light Year. I think that the 3D animation done in this movie was really cool! This was one of the first movies I saw done this way. And I really liked the whole 3D …
Are We There Yet? (2005 movie)
Nick (Ice Cube), a small shop owner, falls for Suzanne (Nia Long), a single mother of two. As he begins courting her, Nick soon discovers that her kids, jealous and protective of their mother, will be the ones he needs to impress and win over first. Besides, it would …
Movie Stargate
We like to watch movies, it is one of favorite pastimes. We saw the movie Stargate on cable last week. It starred Kirk Russle and it was very well done.
In this movie the opening scenes show a dig in Egypt in the 1920’s a young girl …
Movie Wanted
Wanted is an excellent action film with a compelling enough story. The main motivation to watch this film is for the action scenes and the gun battles. Even though some scenes are not very realistic (It may be possible to bend or curve a bullet, but some scenes are …
Fried Green Tomatoes (starring Kathy Bates)
Fried Green Tomatoes is a powerful, sweeping movie starring Kathy Bates, Mary Louise Parker, Mary Stuart and Jessica Tandy. I call this movie my “Girl Power” movie. Watch it with your sisters and mom. A very good content story and if this is made into a book, …
Tangled (Animation)
My daughter wanted to watch this movie so much! She would beg me every day to bring her to the theater to watch this movie. She even did her same old puppy eyes so I had no choice but to say yes. So I went to the theater to …
“Phone” Movie 2004 from Tartan Asia Extreme
I rented this movie from Netflix because I had pretty much seen all the other horror ones on my list and had become bored waiting for new ones to come out. I had enjoyed foreign films in the past, and always found Asian horror to be different and interesting. Like …
My Best Friend’s Girl movie
I love Kate Hudson’s movies. They’re the kind that you can just enjoy because of the theme. Most of her movies are romantic comedies and when i feel really stressed, all I need is a good laugh. Recently, I watched My Best Friend’s Girl. I have a lot of …
The Notebook (movie)
The Notebook is a wonderful love story. This movie is a great movie if you are ready to cry. Also it lets you see more in depth the actually things that a person dealing with alzheimer’s disease really goes through and the heart ache that the family of the …
Sumuru movie
Sumuru isn’t an A-movie. It’s not really even a B-movie. I actually liken Sumuru to a Patrick Swayze movie called Skatetown USA. Both are so bad that they are oddly enticing and fun to watch. Sumuru’s main attraction is its star, Michael Shanks, who plays …
The movie Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory
What child has never wished they could have as much candy as they wanted? I think that if adults were honest with themselves they would realize that not only was this a dream of theirs as a child, there are still times as an adult that they wish …
Taken (2008) movie
I had already heard so much about the movie from my friends and really wanted to see this highly recommended action flick from a long time. So, finally I went to the nearest shop to rent the DVD. Just an hour ago I finished watching a movie which …
